I use Elementor page builder on my WordPress site. There is a problem with it - by default it doesn't allow editing WooCoomerce Shop/Products pages. The solution they say is to add to page templates code. I, being a beginner with no idea of coding, cannot figure out which file to add this code to and where in that file. I have been researching and trying to fix this myself for two weeks now, in vain. Please help me achieve this.
Here's what Elementor say: "Sorry, the content area was not found in your page. You must call the_content function in the current template, in order for Elementor to work on this page."
Go to Elementor setting and then check products in post types
Go to Products, click Edit on the product you want to edit, input something (ie. a full stop-sign '.') in the WP Editor, click Update. (See attached screenshot.)

There seems to be a misconception that Elementor can be used to "edit" any content.
For Elementor to work on a "Page" i.e. the post type that uses either the page.php or any theme declared page templates it requires the_content(); function to present in the code.
Issue #1: WooCommerce uses the woocommerce_content(); function to return the content of the shop.
Issue #2: The Shop output does not use the "Page" or Custom Page template - the output is equivalent to the index.php or home.php, neither of which are editable via Elementor.
Unless you are willing to write a pretty sophisticated function to collect all those elements' data and filter them into the_content(); function, there is currently no way of editing such content directly.
I know it's not the solution you are looking for but that is the current state of affairs. Having said that, some of us are working on all sorts of solutions and maybe, just maybe - we'll come up with a way to have this option available soon ;)
For shop page you should go to Elementor setting and then check products in post types.
Because shop page products are not the content but posts it's the solution.
So inlcude products in post types and edit with elmentor, if for some reason you can't see 'edit with elementor' under shop page, then just open shop page and add
/?elementor and it would enable elementor
NO need to add this code in any page follow these instruction.
You just need to clear cache and cookies your browser, Some time website take previous data to show the web page and give this error.
or
if you open your website private mode then login and go to the page by Elementor you will never face this problem.

I just finished my first custom wordpress site, using my custom theme, and now, I was starting to translate the site, I need it to have 3 languages.
So, I installed the plugin Polylang. But, I don't know why, when this plugin is active, my home page that is a custom page (page-home.php) is not being considered the homepage anymore. Since I never used this plugin before and I don't have much knowledge in wordpress, I have no idea how to solve this problem.
Can anyone help me?
I solved the problem. If you are using a custom page as your homepage, you first have to edit it. Just go there and save it, to assign this page to the default language you chose.
After that, you have to go to every page, post, custom post, and taxonomy, and save it using the default language. If you don't do that, the posts or the other contents of that current language will not be shown on the site, cause they have no language associated to it.
Then, you have to create a new version of every content you have on the admin (posts, pages, taxonomies) for the other languages you gonna use.
i m a newbie to wordpress. I have started theme development and encountered these problems. I think these kind of problem does have a solution, but i m not able to find it out.
I m trying to make a custom page. Uptill now i have made header, footer and main index page.
I see that whenever my theme is activated, I see these default index page, with header and footer assign to it.
I have also made some cutom about us , contact us pages using the Add Pages Functionality of wordpress.
My Problem:
1.Now I m trying to make custom product page where I will have more than 100 images on that pages, and then i can change the images, add the images and description and the link url in future. I have made some html code and put it in the text Tab . I can also see the images on the frontend of the Custom page. But my template breaks. Images goes up and description goes far below.
Also i wanted to add fancybox to all the images which are goin to be replaced or added. But again my template breaks.
So can we make custom.php page and do some coding or anything which you feel is the right way of doing it, Please let me know.
Firstly create product.php page in templates folder using below code on top
<?php
/*
Template Name: My Product Page
*/
get_header();
// write your code here
get_footer();
Then, assign the above template to the page in admin.
Then, that page you can call in menu.
For more detail, check here :- http://codex.wordpress.org/Page_Templates
Actually you don't really need to create a custom template for this unless if you are planing to use that same template on another page.
If your page name is products , just create a file called page-products.php in your theme root. and write your code inside that page.
If your planing to develop themes first be comfirtable with wp template hierarchy.

I want to show the full post with comments and author box on the home page just as if the actual link to the post was clicked. I will set the canonical on the actual post to point to the home page for seo purposes.
I've seen some code out there, but so far nothing that matches my exact needs.
I only want to display 1 WordPress post on the homepage with the comments and author box below the post. And I want to be able to specify which post will be the one that gets displayed on the homepage. (which post id#)
To add to this, I also need the rel="author" to be visible in the header section. I'm using WordPress SEO by yoast and have selected to not show rel="author" for pages. And all code out there I've tried that shows a single post on the home page treats it as if it is a page instead of a post, therefore removing the rel="author" from the head area.
Please do not reply with how to set the number of posts in the Reading tab or how to set a static page. I already know that. That won't work for my needs.
In summary, when I go to my home page I will see the article I wrote along with the comments and author box below it and rel="author" in the header.
Your best bet would be to set your homepage as a static page, and build a custom template for that page. In the editor, create a custom field that allows your to select a blog post to feature (look into Advanced Custom Fields plugin for easy custom fields), grab that custom field value, and use that to build either a WP_Query, or just call the various bits of information using the ID of that post. The trickiest part is getting the_content() by ID. Here's how you can do that:
Add this function to the functions.php file:
function get_the_content_by_id($post_id) {
$page_data = get_page($post_id);
if ($page_data) {
return $page_data->post_content;
}else{
return false;
}
}
Call your function in your page template like this:
echo get_the_content_by_id([INSERT YOUR DESIRED POST ID HERE]);
If you make a php file in your Theme directory called front-page.php, that will automatically appear as the template for your static home page.
Now as far as the rel="author" thing, I don't know anything about that, so I unfortunately cannot help with that.
Also, I'm unsure why my code is losing it's formatting here.
I am trying to add the custom field "market" into the a href as links, which is working great on pages, however is not working on my home page.
The PHP is identical for both.
For the home page, the php is in the functions.php file, and for the theme-by-series page the PHP is in the page's .php file.
The page works, so it doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the PHP, seems more like it for some reason is not targeting the post id as it should.
Anyone know how to solve this?
Custom fields are saved per post/page, and this is likely why it's not loading on your index.php page. You need to replace $post->ID with the ID of the post/page you want to show your custom field for - the $post object is available on the page.php and single.php templates, which is why it works there. On the index page, it would only be available inside the loop.
Look up the WP Docs on how to Reset the main WP Loop Query:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_reset_query
If you're getting different results in functions.php vs a page template, there's a good chance its because your page template has already started a query loop and its conflicting somehow. This is just off the cuff without looking at the code. I'm going by your description of the difference betweeen working and non-working models.
Are there any plugins or hacks that allow assigning widgets to individual pages?
EDIT:
Using self-hosted (.org) 2.8.4
An example of use would be: when you're editing a page in the admin, you'd ideally have the ability to assign widgets to that specific page. The default WP behavior is more "all or nothing" in that you assign widgets to the global sidebar and that's it... all pages get the exact same set of widgets... no "per page" assignment of widgets.
The Widget Logic plugin essentially achieves the desired result with a backwards approach, but it doesn't seem to work with the Rich Text Widget plugin.
There are several good ones. Display Widgets is my favorite. Widget Locationizer is perhaps more robust, but takes longer to manage. You can't go wrong with either one.
Finally found the Widget Context plugin which does what I need.
I don't know of any plugins that would give this functionality, but you might want to look at page templates here: WP Page Templates
With this route its more of a hack, as you can't use the CMS backend to manage your widgets. You would have to manually cut and paste the code of the widget into your page.
How about WP Page Widget:
Select widgets for each page / post / custom post type. For every
single page / post / custom post type we can select which widgets to
show.
This does it "the right way", i.e. when you edit a page you can choose which widgets to show on that page.
